Pixi Summer Makeup Essentials
Quick Fix Powder
To use you simply dab the sponge all over the face or in required areas for a matte yet natural finish. The great thing about this there is no mess, the applicator is in-built so you can travel light. If ever there was a loose powder perfect for travel this is it.

Makeup Fixing Mist
As someone with oily skin the Summer weather, especially humid conditions is not my friend as far as make-up is concerned. I don't particularly want to nor enjoy constantly applying pressed powder throughout the day, to prevent make-up from all but melting off my face so I do rely on setting sprays. I realise that not everyone likes Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray for whatever reason so let me offer up an alternative in Pixi Make Up Fixing Mist.
Much like most make-up setting sprays you apply Pixi Make Up Fixing Mist after you have finished your make-up to keep things in place but did you know you can use it as a primer? Simply mist on the skin before make-up application, allow to dry and apply make-up as usual. Pixi Make Up Fixing Mist has been formulated so it also refreshes and hydrates the skin using rose water and green tea extracts and can be used throughout the day for that reason alone, much like other cooling facial mists.
I have also found that it really does work it keeps my make-up from not only sliding off my face but to some extent also offers a little oil control without parching my skin of natural moisture, nor altering the finish of any make-up it is applied on top of. As a matter of a fact I would deem this to be fairly hydrating without overwhelming the complexion. I will admit that it is not as heavy duty or as long lasting as the Urban Decay option but then again it does offer more skin care benefits.
If you are on the look out for a facial spray that pretty much does it all, Pixi Make Up Fixing Mist is one to invest within. It not only suitably sets the skin but it can double up as a primer, facial refresher and so much more. Impressive however you look at it.

Multi Balm
All the Pixi Multibalms have the same ingredients regardless of colour. The main ingredients in the Multibalms are emollients from various forms of waxes and oils (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Candelilla Cera, Cera Alba, Ozokerite, Copernicia Cerifera Cera), a variety of emollient esters (Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Isopropyl Isostearate, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2), some of which double up also as emulsifiers, some shimmer (Mica), and an absorbent (Silica). After this we hit the preservative (Phenoxyethanol), so we know that we've looked at the main ingredients.
After Phenoxyethanol, there are the ingredients present in smaller amounts, which include Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), more emollients (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter), plant extracts (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract), Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate), and colourants (Titanium Dioxide, D&C Red 6 Ba. Lake, D&C Red 7 Ca. Lake, Iron Oxides).
I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed it is flattering and extremely wearable across a wide spectrum of skintones and undertones.
Additionally, I really loved the sheer but buildable pigmentation, as well as the very blendable texture, because it makes the shades so much easier to work with. In particular, potentially difficult shades like Soft Strawberry and Sheer Sculpt so much easier to work with, as you can build up the intensity of your flushed cheeks without looking like a clown, and any contouring marks you make can be easily blended out to make it look natural.

Nourishing Lip Polish
This 2-in-1 lip exfoliator + nourisher helps to repair & protect dry, sensitive lips. Luxe, nutrient-rich formula smoothes lips with shea butter & a blend of sweet almond, apricot, and evening primrose oils. The unique massage applicator stimulates circulation, giving a healthy, plumped effect.
This is a really unique mess-free lip scrub...I love it!
When I first purchased this, I assumed it was like any other lip scrub...a balm with a gritty texture that I'd apply from the tube and then use my finger to scrub it back and forth on my lips before tissuing it off.
But then I opened the cap and realized that the applicator is the part that scrubs. It has little silicone nubbies that are flexible so they move back and forth as you move it across your lips. It feels really soft and not scratchy at all, and it feels like you're giving your lips a nice massage. Once you're finished, your lips look a little plumper due to increased circulation, although the effect is temporary.
The balm inside is liquidy, more like like a gloss and it feels silky smooth and hydrating. It also tastes sweet, like sugar! There's no mess involved in applying this at all, just swipe it back and forth and then leave it on as a treatment balm. I like to use it just before bed and then leave the balm on overnight.
